Thank you Paul.

@babumenos thank you 🙏
Yes, Fastmail been on my shortlist. Recommended by many.
I’ve been struggling for more than a year on this decision.
My google workplace account has served me really well when it comes to my professional email, I just would like to avoid supporting them.
I’m really inside this power imbalance I teach others about, of benefitting from something enough that I’ve managed to ignore how it hurts others more vulnerable.
Email is my last major darling to kill...
Good stuff.
Just a heads up that I've updated the flowchart in that thread on the post itself. The main reason being that there appear to be many ways that an instance can become aware of a toot, so that's made a bit more clear (last step in the diagram).
Obviously not a huge concern for the context of your thread.
Thanks Steve. Excellent question.
Outgoing email for all the different apps certainly use the Cloudron-installed email service, including my newsletters.
My biggest worry for incoming email is spam filtering, which I hope a more established email service will manage for me.
The tools people are using to find the Mastodon/Fediverse handles of their Twitter friends.
The first two are similar, they search for Mastodon handles in profiles (with false positives). The third one lets you specify an account, encouraging repeat visits to see if friends have added theirs.

Found one yet? I boosted but haven't followed up. I'm not well-versed on instance subject matters and sustainability of instances unfortunately.
What you said in a follow-up post, searching hashtags and finding people that way, seems the most sensible. The endgame has to be everyone on their own instance 😅
Hi Richard, today I run my own VPS and host Mastodon and many other applications on it, at a fixed monthly cost. All outlined here (including costs):
If this feels too technical I recommend @mastohost for managed hosting - signups are paused right now but should be open again in a few days. The effort with Masto.host is minimal and the support is stellar.
No worries. There's a lot going on 😁
Hi Vicky, it's audio. You should be able to just press the play button. No need to register.

Hi Arindam, As I write in the blog post Plume was there in earlier versions but removed because the developers have stopped maintaining it. On the site they recommend Write Freely and Wordpress.

As it turns out, Diaspora does in fact not support ActivityPub. In the new version of the diagram Diaspora is its own tree.

@meena Thanks I added a mention of it in the blog post.
@stevefoerster Hehe, you and me both.
@mat Thanks for catching this. I’ve seen it mentioned in blog posts but have not tried myself. There was also the Pterotype plugin but that hasn’t been updated in 4 years. I believe there will be much more work done in this space now to ensure quality plugins, with the growth of the Fediverse.

I’ve changed the wording in the blog post.
